Election Day

I've dutifully taken my kids to every Election Day since we've gottenthem, but this was their first presidential election. Notsurprisingly, since we are a swing state, turnout was high. In fact,we arrived at the polling places right as they opened at 7, and didn'tactually vote until an hour later, as there were a good 50 to 60people ahead of us. By then, Jada and Aaron had burned through theirschool snack and were really antsy. But we pulled our levers andheaded off to school before any major meltdowns occurred.
